MASTACHIEF
(MC/Hype-Man/Poet/Lyricist/Vocalist)
NYC

At 5:02am on June 27th, 1992 a Chief was born. Voyce DeSouza aka MastaChief was born and raised in New York City. Just as everyone else involved with any kind of art, his calling found him early on in his lifetime. With a name like Voyce the fact that he would inherit a love for spoken word could be considered cliche. Chief took to the microphone in 2006 with a fury that allowed him to share stages with prolific MCs such as Professor Griff (of Public Enemy), Treach (of Naughty By Nature), Easy AD (of Cold Crush Brothers), Chubb Rock, Just Ice, NYOil (formerly Kool Kim of The U.M.C.'s), Hakim Green (of Channel Live), The Black Dot, Hasan Salaam, Rebel Diaz, SpiritChild, Division X, P.E.M.G. and the list goes on.

In the summer of 2010 he was introduced to the Rave Culture by his good friend, Michael Phase. Michael offered the tips and tricks needed to understand what it was to perform to an electronic audience, and was the first artist that believed in his ability, allowing them to share numerous stages together. 

Chief, while still remaining loyal to his roots began to venture out on his own as a separate entity. This allowed him to host numerous events on the east coast and to rock the mic behind renowned artist such as Angerfist, Zany, The Prophet, Coone, Zatox, Technoboy, Isaac, Frontliner, Ran-D, Adaro, Evil Activities/Max Enforcer, Psyko Punkz, Darren Styles, Gammer, Unexist, Rob Gee, Lady Faith, plus many more. And many more will continue to come.

Recognizing that the duty of an MC is to back up what the DJ is doing has kept his style beneath the "annoying" sound the many others can produce. His ability to adapt to any situation (mixing style, genre, technical difficulties, crowd energy, stage set-up etc) separates his stage presence. The biggest asset that he has is the desire to not move the crowd but rather to move WITH the crowd; reading their vibe and acting accordingly. With many screams and hands in the air under his belt, and many more tricks and surprises up his sleeve, MastaChief comes with the promise that he can enhance the experience of any stage.

Of an eastern European descent, Victor fled Ex-Communist Romania as a child with his native mother and father. The first traces of his musical inclinations came early in his childhood; his father being an audio engineer allowed Victor to interact with equipment as well as open to a wide range of music. His first experience with electronic music came in early 1986 while attending Cafe, a small club in Greenwich CT, where Moby was the resident DJ. After watching and listening to Moby blend a wide range of music from early house beats to the Nu Wave/Industrial movement at the time, Moby's ability to move and control the crowds became a major inspirational factor in Victor's career. His first residency and also the first time he had a live audience came at - Nightbreed - a new night which catered strictly to NuWave/Goth/Industrial sounds. The night was a big success and catapulted him to new heights after which a whole array of guest spots to such legendary clubs as : Palladium, The Bank, Ivy, Red Zone, Mirabelle, Dragon's Lair, Citi Limits... came about.  A few years passed by during which he built a great name for himself and developed quite a following. Early influences from Belgium, Holland, and Germany steered Victor to grasp and experiment with a variety of sounds. Around 1992 he started to experiment with more than just the industrial movement and reached into Gabber, Tribal House, Hard Trance, and Acid Trance. He gravitated towards Trance which became his signature sound. Understanding the shift in music and with the new underground parties happening, he decided to change with the times and pursue these new electronic sounds. He found himself blending a powerful mix of synth and hard driven 303 acid lines. He knew it would be a challenge to rise to the top, but he was driven to do so.  In 1994, he received his first break which marked the beginning of what defines DJ DREAD today. He was invited to play - Empire Strikes Back - with DJ's such as : Josh Wink, Dave Trance, James Christian, Reese and Overload. His set at this event set a standard of what Dread was about to bring to the tables for years to come. Very determined and driven to expand his horizons, he released numerous promotional mixes. First mix being Nebular which was followed by Abducted, Revolution, Future Shock, Uptown Underground, Ultimate Frontier and Revolution 2k3. Gigs started to follow which exposed him to a variety of places such as: Europe, Caribbean, North American cities and states such as: Arizona, Colorado, Seattle, Miami, Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,IL... etc... These promotional items along with his passion for pushing the envelope with his music put him on the map as one of the most recognized names in the Trance community to come out of New England. Next step was to form his own production company where he and his partner Ronald Sansone were to push their vision of what raves were to them.  In 1996 V.R.Production was born. In the years to come they brought to New England some of the most innovative, creative and ground breaking lineups. With legendary events such as: Bugged, Freedom 97, Delicious, 1, 2, 3, Freaky 1, 2, A Whole Lotta Love, Magic Carpet, Illuminate, Bent, Metropolis and joined by such names as: D.A.V.E. the Drummer, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Dan, Felix the Housecat, Omar Santana, Diselboy, Dara, Dimtry, Sanra Collins, Barry Weaver, Micro..the list goes on...  In 2004-2005 he released In Session 1 and 2. With the help of Luminitza Lupascu from Box Office entertainment and under Intercont music in Romania and in collaboration with MTV Romania. This collaboration not only turned out to be a great success, but opened him up to his country of birth - Romania- since than he's toured in cities such as Bucharest, Timisoara, Oradea, Arad, Ploiesti, Costinesti, Buftea, Galati, Brasov... the list expands every year...  Presently, he's always searching for new sounds, constantly changing with the times and expanding his horizons with new ideas as well as new sounds... he's well known for his hard driven sounds, but you can always see him spin an array of tribal, tech house... always with a hint of techno, always on the edge... and as always, he'll push the underground resistance forward!
